brugge is een schoon stad (soon to be deleted, the video)

Town in Belgium (Flanders) north of France. Said to have an amazing medieval townscape. Some buildings are 19th and 20th century however. In between also some 21th century

Some call it, too humbly, the "Venice of the north". As if one couldn't speak of the "Bruges of the south"

Situated not far (11 miles) from the coast, and the province of Zeeland in the Netherlands. Though Zeeland is fully flat, it is exceptionally scenic and really worth a special trip to it (Walcheren, Veere) as far as you are already near. Bruges has a lot of fine restaurants and cafés, but be aware of hysterical prices in some of them, sometimes offering poor quality in the most touristic zones. For shopping, it's overcrowded in the afternoon. The red building is the new concertgebouw, by architects Robbrecht-Daem from Gent(Ghent).
The canals in the city-centre are called "reien". In spring and summertime, medieval processions and festivals are performed. The "blood precession" is about the holy history (Jesus and the kind) and the fatherlandic history (Flanders and Burgundy, Bourgogne). A basilika in mid-centre is called the holy blood chapel, where returning crusaders kept blood from Jesus in a reliquary. Up to now, no revindacation.
Two renowned footballclubs, club brugge and cercle brugge (the better one except for the results)
Some superb museums of art (painting), the Groeninghe museum ("flemish primitives")and Memlync museum should not be missed. A temorary collection of Dali drawings and some paintings near Halletoren.
Guido Gezelle museum; sluiskil roman style churches
